Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Hedgemaze at none against Loop's shown. Hedgemaze also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (19 vs 2). Loop's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hedgemaze sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Loop sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Hedgemaze against 5.0 for Loop. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hedgemaze has 19 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Hedgemaze ships an update fortnightly, Loop every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
